ReelzChannel posted a new interview with actor Anton Yelchin, who will play the new Pavel Chekov in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek movie. Here are a few excerpts from the article.

"I'm waiting to read the script, actually," says Yelchin. "I guess they're withholding that until they get casting done or whatever. I plan on... becoming as much of a Trekkie as a I can in the couple weeks before we start shooting - just renting all the box sets, not going outside, not seeing the sun rise, just having the shades drawn."


In the interim, he's sanguine about fan reaction. "Who knows, I may be (scared) later, because Star Trek is such a big thing that I hope I don't let anyone down, I hope everyone is satisfied with whatever. But then again, it's such a big thing that you can't please everyone," says Yelchin. "I look at all these movies like Spider-Man and stuff, and then I think of myself walking out of Spider-Man, saying, ‘Oh well, like, in the cartoon... when I was seven...' Everyone's got their own thing, and some people get very upset and take it personally. But the cool thing about it is if you just think about the fact that people have taken something so personally, it means so much to them. It's kind of a great thing to think about - that Star Trek and Spider-Man, or X-Men could mean so much to someone that they'd actually really take it seriously enough to criticize the hell out of someone because they don't fit their image. If I think about it that way, I'll take it less seriously."


The full interview is here.

Heh, I didn't say they should speak Ebonics.. I just think that more contemporary, loose dialogue (see Stargate and even Enterprise to a point) would be more entertaining to listen to. The Kirk-era movies, especially in the later years were more conversational and natural -- probably due to the many years of comraderie amongst the cast.

I dunno, I just wish people weren't so damn critical of EVERYTHING introduced to Trek on here. Especially before a single frame has been shot!

This kid is willing to seal himself into a room and watch everything Star Trek to get up to speed AND he's real enough to let the steaming Trek degenerates know that he will play the role to his abilities and not JUST to try and please every one of them?

I LOVE IT! He's perfect! And before some of you ass holes knock his quotes further... these interviews are taken from an 18 year-old live, in-person... word for word. You praise him for not trying to be a writer? I would rather hear his realistic dialogue in a Star Trek script ANY DAY over the techno-babble Shakspearean crap we have had to put up with the last 15 years or so.

    Huh?

    I don't see how Nemesis, INS, ENT had much if any Shakespearean dialogs.

    So am I to assume you want to see them talk like "Yo homey whazz up?"

Huh...What'd he say...If they took him seriously then maybe they weren't serious enough or was it that if they weren't serious then they'd take him to Virgina and ...
Lets just say I'm sure he'll be just fine, and I'm particularly happy he isn't one of the writers...


Or was it that if no one took him seriously then maybe that showed how serious they were... no no no, maybe he's still learning English or ... did he say... Wait! What did he say . . .

I hope this kid has a chance to talk to Walter Koenig about the role, just like Quinto is doing with Leonard Nimoy.

In both Anton Yelchin and Zachary Quinto, JJ Abrams has managed to hire an actor who speaks in a manner that's beyond his years. Restoring intelligence to Star Trek, even at the thespian level.

Collider.com has just posted another clip from their video interview with Yelchin and Diane Lane.

The macs at Apple.com are streaming a trailer for Fierce People.

Yelchin to become a Trekkie? As said to his Fierce character, Finn...

"Welcome to the tribe, brother."

The guy comes off humble to me. He realizes the task before him. I find it hard to blame him for anything. He is an actor...he got the part...and he got it because they think he can do it.

Anton, if come across this site, just know that some of us wish you the best of luck. I know I do. You have NO idea what you are getting yourself into but you got...balls...for even trying. Just have fun.

    Well said, and bravo. Anton needs to know that there are some of us who are actually rooting for a good movie, regardless of who is cast as which character.

    Chaotic, this is not directed at you, but to those who think the original cast is the only cast: Get over it! Things change, time marches on, how many other corny country song titles can I think of? With apologies to the writers of STIV and DeForest Kelley, change is the only constant in the universe, not the bureaucratic mentality. Change happens. If you're afraid of change, you're afraid of living. I just gave away a daughter in marriage this weekend, and I can tell you that all of our lives are now irrevocably changed - there's no going back to the little girl she used to be. She's a grown, married woman now, and I have to get used to that fact. And I will. There's no way back, only forward. Embrace change, and you'll build momentum that will carry you through, not stagnate.

    Or, as Mr. Shatner himself said, "GET A LIFE!"

    Rant over. Back to your regularly scheduled topic.

The only way everyone would be happy with his Chekov is he could magically turn himself in Walter Koenig.

This guy is way too young even for this dumb prequel idea. They are going to suggest that Kirk (remember they want a early 20's guy) and this baby face Chekov are the same age? Unbelievable.

    Hey Scorned-wannabe!

    Know the facts! Chekov was suppose to very young during TOS, no more than 22-years old, so Anton Yelchin is around the right age.

    How about you sit down, shut up, and actually wait until the movie comes out to pass judgment!

      Know the facts? WHERE is it documented that during TOS he is no more than 22 years old? Kirk was in his early 20's when he got the command of the Ent. They want a early 20ish Kirk. So if Kirk is suppose to be say 22-23 you have this Chekov who is 18. A 4 year difference which you can clearly NOT see in TOS. So it looks like the Trekman is lacking a bit when it comes to Trek.

      Why don't you do something except sitting back crossing your fingers and going "I hope it is ok". Putz!

        No, I said Chekov was no more than 22 in TOS. Kirk was in his early 30's in TOS.

        Now, just to let you know, an actor's age and a character's age CAN be different. Just because Anton Yelchin is 18 doesn't mean that he can't play a character older than him. And just because they are looking for generally younger actors doesn't mean the characters will be young as well. Don't forget, the character of Picard was actually 20-30 years OLDER than the acter Patrick Stewart.

        So it looks like the Trekman is lacking a bit when it comes to Trek.

        Oh, very original! If you're going to insult me, be a little bit more creative than that!

        Why don't you do something except sitting back crossing your fingers and going "I hope it is ok". Putz!

        Well, at least I don't bitch and moan ,like a pathetic Scorned-wannabe, about every little thing that comes out about the new movie.

          Actually you said "Know the facts! Chekov was suppose to very young during TOS, no more than 22-years old, so Anton Yelchin is around the right age. You made no mention of Kirk being 30. The fact remains is that they want a 20ish looking guy to play Kirk. This guy is way to young. There was no 4 year age gap between Kirk and Chekov in TOS. There was no Chekov in the first season anyways. But suddenly he will be there on Kirks first day as Captain?

          Quote:"Now, just to let you know, an actor's age and a character's age CAN be different. Just because Anton Yelchin is 18 doesn't mean that he can't play a character older than him.

          So they are going to make him look older then? That is just ridiculous.

          Quote:"And just because they are looking for generally younger actors doesn't mean the characters will be young as well. Don't forget, the character of Picard was actually 20-30 years OLDER than the acter Patrick Stewart."

          They want young actors. It has been mentioned several times by Zac, Anton's choice and even Matt Damon made reference to his conversation with Abrams. They want a young cast. They want to make sure that they can keep that "young look" after this movie and the next 2 they have Zac signed on for.

          Quote:"Oh, very original! If you're going to insult me, be a little bit more creative than that!"

          An insult would of been something like "your an idiot, dumbass etc". But this was no insult. It was just a statement of fact. It is funny how you are going to play the wounded guy after your highly intelligent (note add sarcasm) comment of "How about you sit down, shut up".

          Quote:"Well, at least I don't bitch and moan ,like a pathetic Scorned-wannabe, about every little thing that comes out about the new movie.

          Actually I don't see much of you posting anything around here. After doing a little bit of homework. It appears this Scorned guy made you look foolish quite often on this site. I think I am sensing some residual anger and now you are going to lash out. So it seems that anyone who gets your feathers in an up roar will now be called "Scorned wanna be". With a lame comment like that you lose all credibility when you say "be a little more creative than that".

          Ohh and by the way Erik Jendresen, writer of Star Trek: The Beginning is not going to happen. Time to update your signature!

            You did call him a putz. I don't know where you're from, but I'd consider that an insult.

            And as for the characters being played by actors of a younger or older age, it's a very common practice. Why can't you just sit back, smoke some left-handed cigarettes, eat a bowl of Fruity Pebbles, or do whatever you have to do to relax, and just stop this rush to judgment. They haven't even filled out the cast yet, and you're freaking out about how wrong things in the production are. The movie is getting tremendous positive buzz at this point, which is a hell of a lot better than any real fan of the franchise could hope to expect at this point in the process. So stop being nutjob fanboy and relax.

                  hahaa!! If you think that Abrams (your beloved Abrams it seems gets another pass) Superman script was better than Singers?? Then you are crazy and lose even more credibility (your in the red already) on these forums as someone who doesn't know jack. Did you actually "read" the script? I did. Did you actually think that, that piece of crap was anything remotely close to "Superman" (ie movies, tv series or comic books)? Singer movie wasn't bad but at least it WAS Superman unlike Abrams huge pile of shit script.

                  Do yourself a favor and don't respond anymore to my threads or responses. It seems every time I do I just embarrass you more with your ignorance.

                      Where else can I get a laugh at such ridiculous things these "fans" keeping talking about? It is priceless to see such ignorant people trying to pass themselves off as "all knowning". They use no common sense nor do they even remotely try. It is just amusing. So I am having a good laugh at a certain few.

            Can you even read? Here's the exact quote from my previous post that you yourself quoted:
            "No, I said Chekov was no more than 22 in TOS. Kirk was in his early 30's in TOS."

            Does it look like one sentence to you? One complete thought? No it's no sentences with two complete thoughts. The first was a reference to what I said earlier, while the second was an additional statement.

            An insult would of been something like "your an idiot, dumbass etc".

            And still not very original.

            But this was no insult. It was just a statement of fact.

            I do consider questioning my knowledge of Star Trek as an insult since I am The TREKMAN: The MAN Who Know His TREK, thank you very much.

            I think I am sensing some residual anger and now you are going to lash out.

            No, I just have zero tolerance for assholes like Scorned. Especially on this site.

            So it seems that anyone who gets your feathers in an up roar will now be called "Scorned wanna be".

            If you read the other comments, you'll see I wasn't the only one who compared you to Scorned. Tupperfan called you a Scorned clone.

            Ohh and by the way Erik Jendresen, writer of Star Trek: The Beginning is not going to happen. Time to update your signature!

            It doesn't matter if Star Trek: The Beginning was canned or not, Mr. Jendresen's words are still valid today so have some faith, will ya!

              The same can be said about your out of the blue "shut up" comment and your current hizzy fit.

              Quote:'I do consider questioning my knowledge of Star Trek as an insult since I am The TREKMAN: The MAN Who Know His TREK, thank you very much."

              I highly doubt this. There is a difference between "thinking that you" and "actually knowing". Your on the line.

              Quote:'Well, I've been around for several years, though I haven't really been active in forum since Enterprise went off the air, but unfortunately the upcoming movie has brought me back."

              Another reason why people should be upset with Abrams. It brought the likes of you back here.

              Quote:'No, I just have zero tolerance for assholes like Scorned. Especially on this site."

              Actually I have seen him on other sites (hence my homework) and his comments about this site, his getting banned and a few key people on here (including you) were quite amusing and somewhat valid. If you go to a few other sites you will see that he is on them and doing quite fine. For a guy you hate you have turned him into a urban legend (good job!! haha)


              Quote:'If you read the other comments, you'll see I wasn't the only one who compared you to Scorned. Tupperfan called you a Scorned clone."

              So what? Tupperfan's comments are nothing more a pure silliness 99.9% of the time. If you wish to think that, well that is your problem. But to go around and compare everyone who gets your feathers in a roar to a guy who schooled you only makes him more of an urban legend. You need to either resolve your anger with him (ie go on another site and talk to him) or you need to let it go. Going around calling every person a Scorned wannabe is not only health but very silly

              His project got scrapped. His comments mean nothing. Time to update your signature. Don't worry you are not the only one on here who should do it. You know a little change will do you good.

            Your conclusion shows a lack of creative reasoning skills. There was a Pavel Chekov aboard NCC-1701 in the timeframe of TOS season one, but we don't see him. Another character does see him, however.

            Let's recap the situation for newbies: Khan Noonien Singh is introduced in first season TOS episode "Space Seed". At that time, we don't see Chekov at the helm. Yet, in post-TOS movie The Wrath of Khan, Singh says, "I never forget a face. Mister Chekov, isn't it?"

            Any fan with commonsense will consider that Chekov, like Sulu, wasn't a bridge officer at the start of his tour aboard Kirk's ship. This is one option for Chekov in the ST:XI story.

            The Trek gossip bloggers have overlooked Yelchin's remark (in a video interview at MovieWeb) that his young Pavel character works as an engineer: "I know [Chekov] is an engineer. He's a young, like, engineer on the craft."

            Khan will first encounter young Chekov on Scotty's engineering team at the time of "Space Seed."

              Listen to sum all this up real simple. There was NO Chekov in S1 of TOS. Period. Giving me this "he was on board you just didn't see him" is not only silly but completely retarded. Shall we assume that Rikers grandfather, Paris grandmother were also aboard at this time? It would not kill everyone if baby Chekov was not in this prequel movie.

              If we are going to play your silly game then here is your counter point. Even though you didn't see Chekov in S1 HOW do you know he was on the Enterprise. For all you know he was on another ship and got transfered on at a later date.

              I still stand by the fact that you are just trying to find excuses to justify this. As it stands, this guy is too young and there was NO Chekov in the first season therefore he should NOT be in the movie.

                Within the span of "Space Seed", Khan was found by Kirk's crew, and then Khan was marooned by Kirk's crew. There's nowhere else for Khan to have encountered Chekov.

                  You truly are an amazing fool. Listen to the commentary of STII. The use of Chekovs name/character was a mistake. The fact that you didn't have the character until S2 only proves that. So once again another member on this board who "nit picks" things to death thus giving these morons who say "continuity whores" more ammo.

                  It is another excuse to justify your crap. Just like your belief that "whatever Nimoy wants, Nimoy gets". hahah What color is the sky in your world?

                    What you can't see is that Khan's remark in ST:II becomes a dovetail between TOS and ST:XI. It actually qualifies Chekov's place in Kirk's earlier adventures.

                    Your dearth of mental vigor may explain your resistance to the legitimacy of this movie.

                      There was no character of Chekov in S1. So there is "legitimacy"?? More excuse to justify your beloved Abrams. Also see the reply above again and enjoy your Felicity marathon!

                        You warrant your activity here by how much you might bother others. This tags you as a sock puppet, a bottom feeder, or both.

                        Here's a tip: No one of intelligence will be bothered by you. You post as someone who's just one DNA instruction away from lurching as a purely superstitious beast. An exemplary example of a blankly reactive mind.

                          The funny thing is YOU seem to be talking to me. So I guess by your own admission you have no intelligence. But don't worry I already knew that. So you will have to try a lot harder to come up with original "hacks". As it stands you are just venting like a angry little boy over your inability to dispute what I said.

                          "What Nimoy wants, Nimoy gets", "Since there was no Chekov in S1 it justifies the movie" AND the ultimate line of "according to the grapevine there is a major rewrite (BUT I can't provide a link because I just made that up..a liar cough cough)". Three classic bonehead statements by you that lack any type of intelligence. You have zero credibility with such stupidity. So sit down and shut up already. You have not only embarrassed yourself but your everyone that knows you.

    Yeah, I just read the script for the upcoming movie and I completely agree!

    It was my not-so-subtle attempt at telling you to wait until casting judgement, mostly since I've read those comments from you and others about one gazillion times by now...

    And Captain Patti, why are you always so antagonistic and negative? Even your relatively light-hearted posts are somewhat aggressive! You're not a clone of Scorned are you?

        For once I agree with you, I'll just stop reading you, but it pisses me off when I get baited to read your amazingly frustrating posts (as they are usually pretty aggressive, yet bland, as we've all read the kind of shit you write about from other posters like you many times before on this site! And no, there's no way I'm going to leave, you'll get tired of it before me!)

        Allright, now I'll go hide again, as I'm quite afaid of you , now that I know you're a woman! Hooo!!!

        Aggressive is fine if it's temered by sensitivity or intellect. Or at least rationalism. You've never displayed any of the above....which I'm sure your upcoming response will reflect. :)

              Go crawl back under that rock you came from. You have ZERO credibility with all the garbage you have been writing.

                Zero credibility? In your eyes I really couldn't care less. Why don't you post a thread asking how much you have?

                That'd be fun :D

                  I am not the one going around hunting down responses (some of which are several days old). Then trying to add witty comments which just fall flat. You can't dispute what I have said so you are just venting like an angry little boy. Is that guy who is venting over Britney Spears an idol of yours? A role model?

                  Again stop embarassing yourself with your crap. I am encouraging you to not to make another bonehead comment about wishing William Shatner dead. Yes your credibility is still in the negative range after that foolish death comment. Asking for a "poll" on my credibility only to have little kids like you say "no" doesn't mean anything. In fact it is just another way of avoiding the spotlight of the foolish things you say.

            No one wants to start a flame war with you, Patti, but your constant negativity makes it hard to ignore. And before you use the "afraid of an aggressive woman card" you used above, I had honestly not botherred to think whether or not you were a woman before you said that.

                You are, of course, welcome to post all the negative posts that you want. But if everything you say is going to be negative, guess what? So will the responses you get! So quit whining about flaming when you've brought it on yourself.

                  I am not whining at all. It is fun making some of your guys actual explain some of your rants. The result is nit picking hacks at me with a complete avoidance to the subject. In other words they dodge the bullet. haha It just shows how sad some of you boys are.

                    I thought they were already set up.....to accompany your incessant whining and bitching?

                      No I am set up for another one of your long boring whining responses about how everyone is this or that because they don't agree with your bullshit.

                        ....which is what most people do here.

                        And being a whiny, beligerant, hostile, semi-raving loon like yourself.

                        But, hey, you just keep trolling. It adds spice to the board and your eventual ban will be humorous. :)

                          blah blah blah.... Time to get some new material.

                          If anyone should get banned it should be two faces like yourself.

                            I actually would entertain another "stupid" remark, but since I can't hold a candle to you in that regard, what would be the point? :)
